Try this combination with emoticons activated: ")
It is shown as " followed by [wink]

My guess of what happens: " becomes & quot; and the ; joins with the ) to become a smilie.

I understand how " & ) join, but could you explain why " becomes quot;?

In html some characters have special meanings, for example <
which means an html tag.
So what if you want to display < in your document?
You use an html "entity".... & lt ; shows up as <

" is another one of those special characters, and it is changed to & quot ;

So that the browser shows what people write (instead of accidentally trying to interpret it as html) the forum code encodes what we type, making these substitutions for the special characters, so when I type " the forum stores & quot ; ;

Edit:
Note that above people use spaces in & quot;
But in real usage there are no spaces!
I had to put the spaces in, otherwise your browser would show " instead of & quot ;

&quot; :devil

Anyway, this could probably be fixed by processing the smileys before translating special chars.
